Aakasamlo Oka Tara, starring Dulquer Salmaan and introducing Satvika Veeravalli as the female lead, is getting ready for release on the 20th of this month. The team organised a pre-release event attended by Allu Arjun.
Dulquer Salmaan said that after Sita Ramam, he initially viewed the story as another fictional subject, but its significance gradually became clear. He wanted to make at least one such Telugu film around this character. He admitted that he was worried about losing the project while the team waited for Lucky Baskhar to release, and that the possibility of losing it made him realise how much he wanted it. He now regards Aakasamlo Oka Tara as one of the important films of his career.
“I’m happy to associate with this team, starting with producers Sandeep of Lightbox, Swapna, and Allu Arvind. Arvind’s dedication towards any film he produces is commendable. Every day during the shoot, he would look at it like his own child. It has been a pleasure working with him.
Ruhani is like Bijli in nature and in her character’s name. My brother GV, it took us some time to connect, but now that we have, I believe we will do many more films together. When Pavan narrated this story, he mentioned his 13-year journey in the industry. As actors, what we look for most is clarity in our director, and Pavan had clarity about this story, characters, and performances. His approach to work is pleasant.
Satvika’s story is almost like a fairy tale. Studying and working in America, having dreams of dancing, singing, and performing, we discovered her on social media. It is encouraging for anyone who wants to become an actor or performer today. Dream as big as Kalpana in Aakasamlo Oka Tara, and maybe your dreams will come true in real life just like Satvika’s.
Aakasamlo Oka Tara is a film about women, and since all of us, the producers, GV, the director, and myself, are girl dads, this is an important film. Shruti brings energy to her role in the film.”
Allu Arjun stated that he has been fond of Dulquer Salmaan. “From one of his early Malayalam films, I’ve watched his career grow. From Malayalam, he moved to doing films in Tamil with established directors, and then came to Telugu and delivered films like Mahanati, Lucky Baskhar, Sita Ramam, etc. I like his selection of films. He is a versatile actor.
I’d like to wish the newcomer Satvika all the best. I think she has received a good launch. It’s encouraging that an established actress like Shruti has come forward to play a special role in this film and support it. Ruhani, I like you as a performer; you have a good screen presence.
Pavan Sadineni, about 10 years ago when I saw his first film, I called him to my caravan, sat with him, and discussed scenes. Even back then, I felt he was a talented director who hadn’t yet received the recognition he deserved. I hope this film brings him that recognition. There is a positive atmosphere around this film.
This film is presented by Geetha Arts, my father Allu Arvind, CEO Vidya, and Swapna Cinema by Swapna. Seeing the second generation like Swapna and Priyanka carrying the legacy forward and producing films with a focus on scale and content makes me proud. I wish them a successful journey.
I liked the core point of this film. It is about making every woman’s dream come true. When I saw the teaser, I could sense its positive tone and emotional theme. I wish this film success.”
